Been OC more the last few weeks. No real encounters. One special case though.
I was in the Acme (Suburban). Situational awareness being what it is, I noticed a guy checking me out as i walked to the ladies' room. It can be hard sometimes to decide if it's "She looks nice today" or "She's got a gun!" checking out.
Upon exiting the restroom he was waiting for me. "Bounty hunter?"
"Nope." I smile and attempt to continue my shopping.
He steps in front of my path to start talking about his buddy who is in fugitive recovery. (My words, not his.) He wants to go be a bounty hunter. He's got a friend who he knows....(insert life story).
I smile again, nod and attempt to keep walking. No luck.
I turn around and walk the other way. Guess who follows.
"I just wondered if you might like to hang out sometime."
"No thank you." /keep walking turn corner
"I just seen that you was carryin' and thought you might like to spend some time with a real man."
My inner monologue is doing two things here. 1.) "I am more of a real man than you will ever be."
2.) "Please don't let me have to make a scene." /reviews Rolodex in brain for options
I open my mouth to turn him down again, when he thought it in his best interest to reach for my (weak side) arm so I would stop walking.
My mother's voice came out of my mouth. She swore one day it would happen.
"I wouldn't if I were you." [emoji35]
He pulled his hand back as though he'd never seen it before and walked away sulking.
